Summer Natural Look with Too Faced Summer Eyes Palette

I have been absolutely obsessed with the Too Faced Summer Eyes palette from the Summer Sexy Shadow Collection! My eyelids have particularly enjoyed wearing the three brown shades in this palette: CocoaBeach, Chocolate Sun, and Toasted Coconut - I love the names, super delicious and pretty! Cocoa Beach and Chocolate Sun are both shimmery with gold glitter but they are fine milled and super flattering to go with that sun-kissed skin. Toasted Coconut is a satin texture and has been well loved, it's actually one of a few eyeshadows I wore most this summer. There is something super low maintenance about it, I just sweep it all over the lid with a smudged black kohl and it just looks absolutely gorgeous!

For this look I have also used the Too Faced 3 Way Lash Lining Tool. This type of eyeliner is a new product that has been launched by a number of cosmetic brands. This one is the first I tried, and the way I use it to suit my complexion is dotting it right above the lashnine and then thickening it up for a wing with a regular liquid eyeliner. This way I define the lashes on the inner corner of the eye, which looks very natural - to visually elongate the eye I start thinkining the liner with a regular liquid eyeliner half way down and then adding the straightish flick. I also like the way the 3 Way liner looks on the bottom lash line, also making the lashes appear thicker yet still looking natural, great for those days when you don't want to go eyeliner-heavy!

And finally, Too Faced Bronzed & Poreless Pore Perfecting Bronzer, which I am also wearing has this defused effect creating an airbrushed look. It's matte, light feeling and doesn't have a heavy powdery texture so it can go lightly all over the face focusing more on the hollow of the cheeks, temples and bridge of the nose for that summer sun-kissed look.
